GINA'S RAPID REVIEWS
GINA'S BOOK GALAXY
I'm currently reading "The Rum Diary" by Hunter S. Thompson. He captures the mood of 1950s Puerto Rico brilliantly. I was caught up in the story from the first page. I'm looking forward to finishing this one and then reading more by him.

Selling, Trading, & Donating Your Books: At our unique Campbell River bookstore, our goal is to offer quality and selection in our new, collectable, and use books, without sacrificing affordability. From this year's titles to the enduring classics to the just plain interesting books, we try to offer a great price.
There are certain authors that we will almost always want, but our need for other books depends on our stock and the demand for those titles. Selling your books may not make you rich, but it can be a great way to make some space at home! Trading used books is another way to go, offering like for like, within specific sections. Worlds of new thought are yours to chose from.
At Still Water Books we usually sell our books for 1/4 to 1/2 of what you would pay for a new book, depending on condition and demand. We aim to be one of the most affordable bookstores you can find, and as a result, our buying or trade price may be a little less.
Books we would like to stock:This are books that have been requested by our customers. If you have any of these to trade we would be delighted to have you bring them in fore credit or cash. |
